Im writing an ESSAY on The Great Gatsby (fitzgerald)any help please focal points daisy buchanon and why Gatsby
gatsby was attracted to daisy because she was rich, beautiful, and there is a quote about this, the thought that she was with so many men appealed to gatsby.


she ditched him after she ran over myrtle, he stood outside her window the whole night, but she just told him to go away, i think she was just scared that she would be breaking away from 'old money' to live with 'new money' which was considered to be 'dirty' in a sence..


Daisy is really dumb because she is too influenced by money, gatsby even said, "her voice is full of money"


i don't know how she's an american dream, she's such an idiot, "you're an absolute rose..." ooh i can't stand her.


i hope that helps, we had to do a speech about gatsby for finals, and that's all i could remember from the books.
Reply:1. Gatsby was probably attracted to Daisy because she represented the life that he wanted to lead...she represented his view of the American dream. She was beautiful, "easy," naturally rich and charming. She represented the rich, carefree life that he wanted.





2. What do you mean how she ditches him? She goes back to her life with Tom, probably out of habit.





3. She is dumb, that is just her character. However, in Gatsby's eyes she is wonderful, and representes everything that the American dream stands for (see #1 and other previous answer given). Gatsby sees her as this amazing, wonderful treasure when really, she isn't worth it; she is simply a rich, pretty girl who entrances him.
